Happy Easter, or Lights, Camera, PEEPS!

It’s Easter, which can only mean one thing ………….. it’s time for the annual Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest! That’s right, people with too much time and too may brightly colored, sugar-spackled marshmallow bunnies and chicks on their hands have again created scenes using the candies created by the Just Born manufacturing company founded in, appropriately enough, Bethlehem (Pennsylvania, that is).

And among the gallery of entries included on the Washington Post’s website is a a special one made up solely of movie-inspired dioramas. Sure enough, this year’s scenes included several from 2012′s biggest blockbuster, “The Hunger Games” – which claims another weekend at the top of the box office, its third, and is about to earn $300 million faster than any other film outside of a summer or holiday release. The new “Titanic in 3-D” rates a few also. And there’s a diorama of pure genius involving a certain Charlton Heston classic – and it ain’t “The Ten Commandments.”

But don’t take my word for it; let the sweet, sticky stuff speak for itself. Check out the whole gallery here.
